Abstract

This study examines gender differences in the use of question tags and performative utterances in the film Enola Holmes (2020). Using Jennifer Coates’ theory of gender and language and speech act theory, the research examines how these linguistic features function in relation to power, politeness, and identity construction within a patriarchal Victorian context. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data taken from the film script and analyzed through pragmatic and textual approaches. The findings show that female characters, particularly Enola Holmes, use question tags more frequently and for diverse pragmatic functions, such as emotional confirmation, rhetorical questioning, and negotiation of meaning. These uses are not signs of uncertainty but serve as strategic interactional resources to assert agency and challenge male authority. Male characters tend to use more performative utterances in the form of commands, reflecting their institutional power. Overall, the study supports the view that gendered language differences are socially constructed.

Abstract

This study investigates multiple affixations, specifically prefix–suffix combinations, found in the Book of Jakup (Epistle of James) in Pustaka Si Badia. The research aims to identify the forms of prefix–suffix multiple affixations and to analyze their morphological structures and functions based on Francis Katamba’s (1993) theory of morphology. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the data were collected through documentation by examining lexical items containing more than one affix in Jakup. The findings show that multiple affixations in Jakup are realized through prefix–suffix combinations that primarily function as nominalizers, forming abstract nouns from verbs or adjectives. This study contributes to the morphological description of the Karo language and highlights the systematic nature of word formation in biblical texts.

Abstract

This study examines the themes of reconciliation and belonging in Claire Keegan’s novella Foster using Reader-Response Theory, particularly the ideas of Louise Rosenblatt and Wolfgang Iser. The research focuses on how silence and ordinary domestic routines express emotional healing and acceptance. Rather than presenting reconciliation through dramatic events or explicit dialogue, Keegan portrays it through quiet moments, small gestures, and what is left unsaid. The findings reveal that silence functions as a meaningful emotional space where grief and care coexist, while everyday activities such as cooking and shared routines redefine reconciliation as emotional presence rather than spoken forgiveness. Keegan’s minimalist style encourages readers to participate in constructing meaning, making belonging an emotional experience rather than only a biological relationship.
